Auto Start/Stop Disable is a lower-risk, convenience-oriented change for 2015–2026 Ford F-150 trucks, applied with FORScan over an OBD-II adapter. Disables Auto Start/Stop by disabling Battery Management System. It is fully reversible and typically takes about 5 minutes to write once your worksheet is in hand.
The change touches the Body Control Module (BCM), and your F-Config worksheet lists all 3 as-built code rows with the module, address, and target value. Each row includes a blank for your original value so you can back up before writing changes and roll back later. No more annoying engine shutoff at stoplights. Engine stays running..

The DIY process from start to finish — backup-first and, where possible, reversible.
Before changing anything, use FORScan to read and record the current value of each of the 3 rows in the Body Control Module (BCM). Your worksheet leaves a blank beside every row for exactly this.
Enter the 3 target rows from your worksheet one at a time. Most owners finish Auto Start/Stop Disable in about 5 minutes with a laptop and a FORScan-compatible OBD-II adapter.
Turn the key off and back on, then confirm the change behaves as expected before moving on. If anything looks off, stop and compare against the originals you recorded.
Because Auto Start/Stop Disable is fully reversible, you can put every original value back later and return to stock whenever you want.
